That’s certainly not the wrong reasons. At least you took the break and got loose from it as well.
Every time I’ve taken breaks I find myself tapping my foot waiting to partake again. Then, I just feel slightly debilitated from it instead of being my usual full clarity for the first week. After that, back to normal.
I probably have a very odd relationship with it though. I use it for emotional balance, once it’s completely out of my system I start on a downhill roll towards complete lack of empathy. Then I find myself saying things I shouldn’t be saying because I don’t realize the emotional impact of stuff I’m saying. Rude to say the least.
